As a complete noobie..
At 35, my best option at living in Bangkok for 1 year - would be an Education Visa?
Anyone have any experience with that? Self Defence or Language or can recommend a better way to stay for 1 year (reason for 1 year is I found an apartment with 1 year contract).
Cheers all, wont ask any more questions :)
TLDR : Answer Summary
A complete newbie considering a one-year stay in Bangkok has asked about the best visa options, particularly an Education Visa (ED visa), and others suggested various alternatives. Community responses included personal experiences with the ED visa, information on visa runs, and advice to consult visa specialists. While some members warned against misusing the ED visa, others pointed out its legitimacy for actual learning. Options like a multi-entry tourist visa, volunteer visa, and the Elite visa were also discussed as possible solutions for long-term stays.
